Cox .020 TD drive-plate issue

Cox International Tue Mar 20, 2018 4:23 pm

We have a buyer who wrote that the hole in our TD 020 drive-plates is too big for the spline on his crank.

We have sold many of these parts and just tested ten of them on two different cranks; they fit tight.

Was there a time where Cox made TD 020 cranks with smaller splines?

Yes, the early TD .020 engines used a smaller spline. I have a TD .020 crank with the small crank spline. I have been looking for a small drive plate for a while now.

Thanks and we have a few of the Space Bug Jr. ones here that may fit.

Yea Jason , i was trying to get this engine up and running with the new Alum. bakeplates from Greg and it want go into the CC But will go in an newer CC , That's special!?

i haven't tried a new plastic tank BP. have you ?

There is interference from the bottom of the cylinder that protrudes slightly into the crankcase. It’s variability in machining from Cox. I bet if you loosen the cylinder it fits right in.

Only way to fix is to remove a few thousands from the bottom of the cylinder.

I had one out of 4 assembled that would catch a hair bit, it was a simple solution just back off the cylinder fit the backplate
on and then tighten the cylinder. I did not bother filing down anything the steel will bite the aluminum a hair and it's over.
Just remember to assemble with oil and enjoy the way the O ring snap locks the backplate into position.
